Bathsheba:

(daughter of the oath) (2 Samuel 11:3 etc.) also called Bath‐shua in 1 Chronicles 3:5, the daughter of Eliam (2 Samuel 11:3) or Ammiel (1 Chronicles 3:5) the son of Ahithophel (2 Samuel 23:34) and wife of Uriah the Hittite. (B.C. 1035) The child which was the fruit of her adulterous intercourse with David died; but after marriage she became the mother of four sons, Solomon (Matthew 1:6) Shimea, Shobab and Nathan. When Adonijah attempted to set aside the succession promised to Solomon, Bath‐sheba informed the king of the conspiracy (1 Kings 1:11; 1:15; 1:23). After the accession of Solomon, she, as queen‐mother, requested permission of her son for Adonijah to take in marriage Abishag the Shunammite (1 Kings 2:21-25).
